Henry Moore

I have included a selection of my photos when I visited Yorkshire Sculpture Park
About Henry Moore
​
Moore was born in Castleford, a small mining town in Yorkshire, in 1898. After training to be a teacher and serving in the British Army he studied at Leeds School of Art and then the Royal College of Art, London. By the 1950s Moore had begun to receive a number of international commissions. He continued working in sculpture, drawing, printmaking and textile design until his death in 1986.
​
Moore was a pioneer, and the first British artist to become a global star in his own lifetime. His work came to symbolise post-war modernism and can be said to have caused a British sculptural renaissance.

Henry Moore has been an inspiration in terms of my drawings and also printmaking.  His mark making and imagery are fascinating to me.  I did a project on artists of the Second World War and Henry Moore was one of the artists I researched.  I visited the archive at The Whitworth Art Gallery as part of this research and found the experience a real honour to be able to see his work in person was an amazing experience.  I also have a selection of gallery invitations, photographs, catalogues and leaflets that I treasure.
